About John

John Sundeen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. He practices in California and focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and life changes. He approaches work with respect for each person's story and strengths.

He starts by listening closely and treating the client as the expert on their life. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He draws on evidence-based tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

Many people come for help with relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, or addictions. John also works with those managing attention differences and low self-esteem. He aims to make the steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

His practice blends Existential ideas about meaning with practical strategies from acceptance and behavior-based approaches. That mix helps people clarify what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take workable steps toward change. Sessions may include mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and skill-building around thinking and behavior.

The tone is supportive and straightforward, with room to process emotions and test new ways of coping. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style tend to find his approach useful. He supports parents through parenting strain and helps individuals facing major transitions find clearer direction.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It can help when someone feels stuck, questions their direction, or struggles with loss and uncertainty. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals and preferences. The therapist and client decide together what tools to try and how to adjust them based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, school, or family schedules.
